Recapture typically happens only when you sell the property.If you use the property partly for personal use and partly as a rental in a given year, depreciation and other expenses must be prorated based on the number of days it was rented versus personal useBased on the current tax laws and regulations, once you've taken bonus depreciation on an asset, you cannot "capture" additional bonus depreciation on that same asset in future years, even if the rates increase.In the 2024 tax year, the rate for bonus depreciation is 60%.
